11 Things No One Ever Looks Forward To On Flights

There aren't many things to look to on a flight other than the "prime time movies" and, of course, the actual destination which is usual a hotspot resort in some thriving place with much better weather than your own environment. It is entirely about the getaway, but getting there is usually the struggle. There is nothing better than getting out of the airport and starting a vacation, away from all your troubles, nonsensical drama, and even people. But, leading up to that sweet walk of victory, you must go through the hassle of the flight and all the things that everyone dreads.

1. The crying baby that you know you shouldn't but want to punch.

2. The obnoxious sleepers that figure that your shoulder is an armrest.

3. The big group traveling that assumes that the airplane is a coffee shop. NEWSFLASH: People want to sleep.

4. The uncomfortable chairs that we all know have shrunk through the years.

5. The children that watch TV shows as if they have never experienced such amusement in their life and feel the need to shake anything and everything in their sight.

6. Having so many food options on a flight but realizing that they are all unappetizing.

7. Sitting behind people that recline their chairs to the maximum as if they really plan on being more comfortable.

8. The college teams that show up and figure it's just another plane, another practice.

9. The passengers that have taken maybe one flight in their life and believe that turbulence is equivalent to death.

10. Flying internationally and knowing that the stinky, warmed up food will always be yours. Let's face it: you aren't getting that warm, homemade cookie from first class and probably never will.

11. Being put on the fire lane which automatically means no sleep because you can't recline your chair.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.
